2 Sheets-Sheet J 2 A llorney Patented Mar. 10, 1931 UNITED STATES CLARK I. STEWART, OF GOODWATEB, ALABAMA RADIATOR STAND Application filed May 5, 1930. Serial No. 449,976.

The present invention relates to a radiator stand and has for its prime object to provide means whereby an automobile radiator and the like may be supported in different convenient positions for repair purposes. 9

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision of an apparatus of this nature' which is simple in construction, easy to manipulate, inexpensive to manufacture, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description pro- 5 cceds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus embodying the features of my invention,

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof, Figure 3 is a front view thereof,

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the two i clamp plates disassembled,

Figure 5 is a detail section taken substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 2,

Figure 6 is a detail section taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 2, and

Figure 7 is a detail section taken substantially on the line 77 of Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes a V-shaped bracket having laterally extending end extensions 6 receivable in members 7 which may be placed on a wall or any other supporting structure so that the bracket extends horizontally and outwardly therefrom.

On the apex of the V-shaped bracket 5' there is formed a ratchet faced disk 8 with which cooperates another ratchet faced disk 9, these disks being held together in adjusted position by bolt and nut 10 extending from the disk 8 through an opening in the disk 9 as is clearly illustrated in Figure 7. Arm 11 extends radially fromthe periphery of the disk 9 and terminates in a'ball 12, which is receivable in socket'portions 1 1 of plates 15 which are clamped together by bolts and nuts 16 at the ends of the plates. The bottom plate 15 has a lateral extension 17 on which is formed a fiat clamp plate 18 perpendicular thereto. This plate 18 is hingedly connected with a plate 19 as is indicated at 20 and the plate 19 has an offset portion 21 which is suitably lined as at 22. I

The free ends of the plates 18 and 19 have slots 28 and 24 therein for receiving bolt 25 which has anut thereon. The radiator is received between the clamp plates 18 and 19 as is clearly illustrated in Figures 1 and 3. Thus it will be seen that the radiator may be held in practically any desired position for convenient repair work thereon.

It is thought that the construction, operation, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed descrip tion thereof.-

The present embodiment of'the invention has been disclosed in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will tails of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement ofpar ts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages. Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: v

In an apparatus of the class described, a bracket having a ratchet faced disk thereon, a second ratchet faced disk cooperatively connected with the first mentioned disk by a bolt extending from the first disk through an opening in the second disk, a nut on the be apparent that changes in the debolt, an arm extending from the second disk and terminating in a ball, a pair of plates having socket portions to receive the ball, bolts and nuts for drawing the plates together to hold them at difierent angular positions in respect to the arm, a member extending from one of the plates, a clamp plate on the member, and a second clamp plate hingedly connected With the first mentioned clamp plate. 1

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

CLARK P. STEWART.
